Minute-Ventilation Variability during Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test is Higher in Sedentary Men Than in Athletes.
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia 2017 September
BACKGROUND: The occurrence of minute-ventilation oscillations during exercise, named periodic breathing, exhibits important prognostic information in heart failure. Considering that exercise training could influence the fluctuation of ventilatory components during exercise, we hypothesized that ventilatory variability during exercise would be greater in sedentary men than athletes.
OBJECTIVE: To compare time-domain variability of ventilatory components of sedentary healthy men and athletes during a progressive maximal exercise test, evaluating their relationship to other variables usually obtained during a cardiopulmonary exercise test.
METHODS: Analysis of time-domain variability (SD/n and RMSSD/n) of minute-ventilation (Ve), respiratory rate (RR) and tidal volume (Vt) during a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test of 9 athletes and 9 sedentary men was performed. Data was compared by two-tailed Student T test and Pearson´s correlations test.
RESULTS: Sedentary men exhibited greater Vt (SD/n: 1.6 ± 0.3 vs. 0.9 ± 0.3 mL/breaths; p < 0.001) and Ve (SD/n: 97.5 ± 23.1 vs. 71.6 ± 4.8 mL/min x breaths; p = 0.038) variabilities than athletes. VE/VCO2 correlated to Vt variability (RMSSD/n) in both groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Time-domain variability of Vt and Ve during exercise is greater in sedentary than athletes, with a positive relationship between VE/VCO2 pointing to a possible influence of ventilation-perfusion ratio on ventilatory variability during exercise in healthy volunteers.
